Dead Sea & Jordan River and Jericho Tour

The Dead Sea, Jordan River and Jericho tour from Jerusalem or Bethlehem is a full-day group tour through the Judean Desert to Jericho, the oldest city in the world, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. You travel with a driver who takes you between the sites, and you explore each one at your own pace.

• Panoramic stop at the Sea Level marker in the Judean Desert (photos and camels)
• Jericho, the oldest city in the world, and the ancient mound of Tel es-Sultan
• The Mount of Temptation, where Jesus fasted for 40 days (cable car optional)
• The Sycamore (Zacchaeus) Tree and Elisha's Spring
• The Jordan River, near the traditional baptism site of Jesus
• Free time to float in the Dead Sea and try the mineral-rich mud

The day begins with pickup from your selected point in Jerusalem or Bethlehem, then continues by air-conditioned vehicle into the Judean Desert. A panoramic stop at the Sea Level marker offers photos and camels before you reach Jericho, the oldest city in the world, with its ancient mound of Tel es-Sultan. Here you can also see the Mount of Temptation, where Jesus fasted for 40 days, with an optional cable car, along with the Sycamore (Zacchaeus) Tree and Elisha's Spring.

The route then reaches the Jordan River, near the traditional baptism site of Jesus, before continuing to the Dead Sea for free time to float in the mineral-rich water and try the famous mud. This is a self-guided tour, so your driver handles the transfers between sites while you spend as long as you like at each stop. Some sites may close or vary, with alternatives offered. Drop-off is back at your original pickup point.
